Of all the things to bring back from extinction....we'll go with a pigeon. Nice work, science!

And with it they'll bring back some sort of fresh hell bird flu.

Minus well start stockpiling ammo now.

Haven't we already learned from this?

It's gonna wind up like this.

Yeah, if we bring them back, they are likely to be pissed off.

Weren't they trying to revive the Mammoth a few years ago?

I wonder how that's going.   

Mother Nature killed them off, right? And now Man wants to bring them back? It's not nice to fool Mother Nature.

Mother nature and severe commercial overhunting, yeah.

There were some ants that used to be around here, but I crushed them to test how strong their exoskeletons were. Not very it would appear. Can we work to bring them back as well?
